Library Seeks Help In Finding Site For New Branch

February 16, 1986|By P.J. Lacette of The Sentinel Staff

CASSELBERRY — The search is on for a 2 1/2- to 3-acre site for a branch library in the Altamonte Springs and Forest City area. Library staff members and the Library Advisory Board have turned to the public for help in finding a home for the planned branch after spending three months looking at spots.

Staffers and the advisory board checked 19 locations west of Interstate 4 and determined each site was either too highly priced or unsuitable because of problems such as poor drainage, lack of sewer hook-up or power easements.

Anyone who visits the Bookmobile during its stops in the Forest City-Wekiva area is receiving a flier asking for help finding a suitable site.

The Bookmobile visits the Goodings parking lot at State Road 434 and Montgomery Road on Tuesdays; and on Fridays stops at the K mart parking lot at the intersection of State Roads 434 and 436; and at the Winn Dixie parking lot at Hunt Club and Wekiva Springs Road.

Construction on the Forest City-Wekiva branch and another in Lake Mary is scheduled to begin December 1987, with October 1988 opening dates.
